[UNITED s r JEAN PARIS, or orncrivivnrr, oHIo DOUGH MOLDING] aui-111m Application filed April 9, Serial .1\To..528,79. V v r e a? My invention relates to a dough molding machine and especially to a pair of forming rollers for the purpose of forming and cutting various shaped biscuits, rolls, bread, etc.

Heretofore, it has been the usual practice to run the dough through a molding machine for the purpose of kneading and stretching the dough to prepare it for baking, and to then cut it by hand operated means into the desired shape or siz In my improved machine, I provide a pair of forming and cutting rollers, which receive the dough from the kneading rollers and form and cut the desired shaped biscuits or rolls. Various shaped rollers may be placed in the machine to cut rolls or biscuits to any desired shape.

The object of my invention is to provide a machine having suitable kneading rollers and a pair of forming rollers which shape and cut the dough into suitable shaped biscuits. A further object is to provide a pair of co-acting rollers having recesses in their periphery for the purpose of forming and cutting various shaped dough biscuits. A further object is to provide the adjacent recesses in the rollers in staggered relation,

in order to prevent complete severance of the dough at any one point throughout the contacting faces of the rollers. Still further objects reside in the novel construction of the rollers.

The invention will be further readily understood from the following description and claim, and from the drawings, in which latter:

Fig. 1 is a side View of the molding machine.

Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section of the same.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of one form of forming roller. 7

Fig. 4 is a similar view of another form of roller, and

Fig. 5 is a similar view: of still another form of'roller.

-The machine exemplified in the drawings is of a conventional design and comprises side walls 11 provided witha shelf 12, ad go jacent to the base thereof, and a pair of connecting rods 13"near the upper end thereof to secure the sidewalls together. A pair of rollers 14 and 15' are suitably journaled in the side walls} and are hereafter'more fully "'53 described. a g I A pair of kneadingrollers 16 and 17 are arranged in -a horizontal plane with the rollers 14 and 15; The roller 17 is adjustable my .up and down for the purpose of- 'gaging the "60.

correctthickness-of the rolled dough. This adjustment "may be provided by having the bearings mounted in movable brackets 18,

adjustableiby' means of suitable bolts 19, rep, ceived in lugs 20 in the side frame members. Suitable tables 21 and 22 are hinged to the respective ends of the machine and'may be dropped. down when not in use, whereby the machine willv take up a minimum" of floor M space. The table-21 has its plane surface inline with the top of-the roller '16 for-the purpose of feeding the dough to the rollers 16'and17. i

A shelf 25 is positioned between the rollers 16 and 14, whereby the dou gh being fed through the rollers 16 and 17 will be pushed forward to the rollers 14 and 15 aided by a belt 25 received over suitable pulleys mounted on the'shelf. I If itis desired to run the dough through the rollers16 and 17 more than once before it is contacted by the rollers 14 and 15, a take off shelf 26 is lowered into position, whereby the dough, after passing through the rollers 16 v and 17 will accumulate onthe shelfand can .be lifted back to the rerun through the rollers. This shelf is provided with arcuate arms 27 havingar'c'uate slots 28 therein. Studs 29 are received in the arcuate slots and are Provided with thumb nuts 30 for the pur- Q J 1 Havingthusfullydescrihedmy invention,
